Does hjs depend on regex-base ?
hjs -> regex-compat -> regex-base ghc-6.6.1: unknown package: regex-base-0.91 (dependency of regex-compat-0.90) Preprocessing executables for hjs-0.2... Obviously you can't compile regex-compat without regex-base. Thus you can/should assume that you have also regex-base installed if you find regex-compat, right? Is this intentionally? Mmmh This means I must iterate over the whole dependency tree to collect them all. Marc Weber

Yes; in order to install a package you also need to install its dependencies (which Cabal, confusingly, calls "build-depends"). Thanks Ian
